This is backwards; centos/redhat should be 'ntpd' and debian/ubuntu
should be 'ntp'.

This conditional is redundant. I think it's better to use one resource
name and change the "name" attribute with the variable as you have
done (although I would a more explicit variable name like
'$ntp_service'):
service { 'ntp':
name => $ntp_service,
...
}

This is because of the reversal I mentioned above; it should be 'ntpd'
on CentOS, not 'ntp'.

Have you tried 'man service'? '/sbin/service' is a way of running init
scripts with a sanitized environment and is the preferred way of
running init scripts rather than doing so directly.
